im on top of the world today. these are the things that separate Americans from the rest of the world, this captains courage should send a message to the world, minutes from being rescued he looked calm and collected as if it was only a matter of time until he was free. Very proud of my country today

Yes, we should be psyched to know that pirates now know that its not worth taking Americans hostage, just shoot them.

Egypt and Yemen make insane amounts of money from ships transiting the region, where are they? Why aren't they patrolling? Why are we ONCE AGAIN expected to fix everyone else's problems?

Ya, Italy is looking for our help with their piracy problems too.

Where are their ground troops helping us in Iraq and Afganistan??????

One way street.

Except for England, Ausrtralia, Poland and a few others we get nada, nothing
in support of our interests.
